"Son, I don't want to keep it from you. This uncle sitting in front of you is your biological father. He's here this time to take you back to Yuntan, where you truly belong."
"Dad, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you."
Xia Sanghuan's tone was calm.
This made Fu Zeming, sitting opposite her, a bit nervous. A man used to making tough decisions in the business world, he was now being extra careful in front of his daughter, afraid of hurting her feelings.
He softly called out, "Huanhuan."
Xia Sanghuan finally looked up at him. Her expression was neutral, showing neither joy nor discomfort.
Seeing this, Xia Laosi felt his heart tighten. He didn't want Xia Sanghuan to have any grudges about her original family.
So he gave Fu Zeming a look. "You should tell Huanhuan about the past. She's eighteen and has the right to know."
Xia Sanghuan frowned slightly. What else didn't she know?
Fu Zeming then began to talk about her family background.
"You must be curious why you were sent here."
Xia Sanghuan didn't say a word and listened quietly.
"Your mother had endometrial cancer back then. In the end, she gave up treatment to give birth to you. She passed away a month after you were born."
Xia Sanghuan's expression finally changed. Her hands hanging by her sides tightened slightly.
There was pain in Fu Zeming's eyes as he clearly tried to suppress his emotions. After a moment, he continued, "You were diagnosed with cancer right after you were born. Your situation was so special that no hospital could perform surgery on you. Finally, on your grandma's suggestion, we sent you to Qingshanpo to Xia Zhonghai. He agreed to treat you on the condition that we couldn't come for you until you turned eighteen."
Xia Zhonghai was her grandfather, who passed away two years ago. No wonder she had been drinking Chinese medicine since she had memories.
Xia Sanghuan's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
So she was really a jinx. Her mother had given up her life to give birth to her.
Fu Zeming's voice choked with emotion. "The whole Fu family has been waiting for you for eighteen years, Huanhuan. Come home with me."
Xia Sanghuan's eyes turned red. She turned her head and saw Xia Laosi smiling and nodding at her, silently encouraging her.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"I agree to go back with you, but I want to cure Dad's illness first and then go back to the Fu family."
Hearing this, Fu Zeming finally smiled again.
Sure enough, she was his daughter, knowing how to repay kindness!
"Okay! Whatever you ask for, Dad will agree to it!"
Fu Zeming wanted to stay and spend more time with his daughter, but there were no accommodation facilities in the countryside and there was no extra room at home. Finally, on Xia Sanghuan's suggestion, they went to the neighboring town to stay.
That night, Xia Sanghuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She had lived happily in the Xia family for eighteen years, but now suddenly there was a new father. She didn't know how to adapt.
Moreover, her father's condition was deteriorating rapidly. She had to develop the Wuguling Treasure into medicine as soon as possible to continue the treatment.
...
In a clean and tidy room, a man slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
"Master Leng, you're finally awake!"
His subordinate, Yun Ye, was extremely excited. When he saw his master in a coma, his heart almost stopped!
"The doctor said your bleeding stopped early and you're out of danger. If it had been a bit later, it might have been life - threatening."
Leng Chuanjin frowned and looked around. He sat up straight and suddenly remembered the Wuguling Treasure. He immediately picked up the bag on the table and rummaged through it. Everything was there except the Wuguling Treasure, and the cash was untouched.
Obviously, the little girl had taken the Wuguling Treasure.
"How did I get back?"
Seeing the cold look in his eyes, Yun Ye quickly and carefully replied, "I found you and drove you back."
"Was there anyone else there at that time?"
"No, I didn't see anyone else except you."
Leng Chuanjin's expression became even more gloomy. He had been robbed by a little girl!
This was related to Jing Zhan's life. Even if he had to turn Qingshanpo upside down, he must find the person!
"Immediately deploy people to search every household. We must find the Wuguling Treasure!"
Yun Ye immediately went to carry out the order without daring to delay for a single minute.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Leng Chuanjin answered it.
It was his mother, Lin Shan.
"Chuanjin, Jing Zhan is having another attack! Come back quickly!"
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Leng Chuanjin suppressed his urgency, put on his coat and walked out. Seeing this, Yun Ye was very worried and quickly followed. "I'll drive you back."
Leng Chuanjin asked him for the keys.
"You stay here and continue the search. Notify me as soon as you get any news. No matter what, we must find the Wuguling Treasure."
Yun Ye nodded slightly. "Understood."
...
At dawn, Xia Sanghuan had already made breakfast and went to call Xia Laosi.
But after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. She had a bad feeling and immediately pushed the door open. The person on the bed was on the verge of death.
"Dad!"
She rushed over quickly. Forcing herself to calm down, she felt his pulse for examination. But then she saw a bottle on the table and immediately collapsed.
"Huanhuan."
Xia Laosi opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile as usual.
Xia Sanghuan knelt beside the bed, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, why did you do this?"
"Dad doesn't have much time left. I don't want to be a burden. Dad only asks one last thing of you. Take An Ying with you. Don't let her be alone..."
Xia Anying was Xia Sanghuan's elder sister and Xia Laosi's only daughter. She had been sent to a relative's house in the town a few days ago to avoid trouble.
When Fu Zeming came, he heard Xia Sanghuan's cries in the yard. He quickly walked into the room, but Xia Laosi was already gone.
Seeing Xia Sanghuan kneeling on the ground, his heart ached. He walked over and hugged her. Finally, he said hoarsely, "Huanhuan, you still have Dad."
Xia Sanghuan leaned in his arms, crying until she had no more strength.
Xia Laosi chose the most extreme way - he drank pesticide and committed suicide - to let Xia Sanghuan be free and return to the Fu family earlier.
Fu Zeming arranged a funeral for him and sent people to pick up Xia Anying from her relative's house, fulfilling Xia Laosi's last wish.
Rumors spread in the village again, saying that Xia Sanghuan had killed her father.
While gossiping, the villagers also envied the grand funeral for Xia Laosi. It was the most magnificent scene the village had ever seen.
Fu Zeming was worried about Xia Sanghuan and didn't leave her side for days and nights, afraid that she would disappear in a blink of an eye.
Six days later, Xia Sanghuan finally agreed to go back to Yuntan with Fu Zeming.
When the whole Fu family heard the news, they immediately flew back home from all over the world.
